CUTTING TOOL LIFE TESTS OF CERAMIC INSERTS FOR CAR ENGINE SLEEVES
Robert Čep, Adam Janásek, Branislav Martinický, Marek Sadílek
Original scientific paper
This article is focused on the experimental determination of tool life tests for indexable ceramic cutting inserts. The set criterion of tool wear was VBBmax = 0,6
mm (in accordance with ISO 3685) or 30 pieces of machined sleeves. After at least one of the mentioned parameters was achieved, the tests were stopped and
evaluated. Two types of cutting material by Saint Gobain Advanced Ceramics s.r.o. Company – ZTA 7 NI and D 250 were tested. We monitored their tool life at
the same cutting parameters. The experiments were performed on machine tool – CHEMNITZ NILES N22. The machined material was the cast iron 25P
mainly used for car engines. Tool wear was monitored on every fifth machined sleeve. Microgeometry was measured after tool wear test on each fifth sleeve.
The aim was to determine the arithmetic tolerance of Ra profile, the greatest height of Rz profile and the external diameter D. The measurement was carried out
four times; arithmetic average was performed subsequently as it is shown in the tables.

Ovaj članak je usredotočen na eksperimentalno određivanje trajnosti alata za indeksiranje keramičkih reznih uložaka. Postavljen je kriterij trošenja alata VBBmax
= 0,6 mm (sukladno ISO 3685) ili 30 komada obrađenih tuljaka. Kada je postignut barem jedan od ovih parametara, ispitivanje je zaustavljeno i procijenjeno.
Ispitivane su dvije vrste reznog materijala uz pomoć tvrtke Saint Gobain Advanced Ceramics s.r.o. – ZTA 7 NI i D 250. Pratili smo njihovu trajnost kod istih
parametara obrade. Eksperimenti su izvedeni na alatnom stroju – CHEMNITZ NILES N22. Obrađivani materijal bio je lijevano željeza 25P koje se koristi za
motore automobila. Trošenje alata praćeno je za svaki peti obrađeni tuljak. Mjerena je mikrogeometrija nakon ispitivanja trošenja alata na svakom petom tuljku.
Cilj je bio odrediti aritmetičku toleranciju Ra profila, najveću visinu Rz profila i vanjski promjer D. Mjerenje je provedeno četiri puta, aritmetička sredina je
izvedena naknadno i prikazana je u tablicama.

Introduction
Uvod
Tool wear tests belong to one of the basic parameters of
machining technology. The results of successful
application, which were obtained in practice, remarkable
increase of the quality of production and indirect affect on
the position of the enterprise in the sharp competition [3, 4].
That experimental determination of tool life can provide
additional information about cutting process in next tests
[5].
Roughness is a sum of surface imperfections with a
small distance. These phenomena arise from the production
or effect of production effect [6]. Surface defects not
assumed as the roughness are: random irregular geometry
(lines, crevices, etc.) and defects which arise by material
production [2].

Machine tool
Alatni stroj
The machine tool CHEMNITZ NILLES N22
(Fig. 1) was used for test sample machining. The machine
tool has rigid structure and it provides a sufficient clamping
condition. Jaws have recessed cone with the same apical
angle as the cast iron sleeves.

Measuring machines
Mjerni strojevi
Ra and Rz values were evaluated on portable surface
roughness tester - Mitutoyo Surftest SJ-400. A wide range,
high-resolution detector and an ultra-straight drive unit
provide a class-leading accuracy. Cylinder surface
roughness is possible to be evaluated by the skid less
measurement and R-surface compensation functions.
An external diameter was determined by SOMET
micrometer (ČSN 25 1420; 50÷75 mm).

Cutting tool life tests of ceramic inserts for car engine sleeves
engines (Fig. 3), which were supplied by the contracting
authority. The class of material was 25P. Due to conical
shape of sleeves it was necessary to machine a cylindrical
surface and the same diameter. Supposing we had not done
it, a constant depth of cut ap would not have been maintained
during tests.

A tool-holder CSSNR 2525 M12-K (Fig. 4) was used in

Tool life and tool wear – individual cutting inserts
Vijek i trošenje alata – pojedinačni rezni ulošci
The number of machined pieces by individual ceramic
cutting inserts is shown in the following graph (Fig. 7). D
250 series of cutting inserts machined the maximum
number of 30 pieces except for D 250_1 insert. The D 250_1
insert probably reached this maximum as well. There was a
th
crack of sleeve (at machining the 27 sleeve) and it resulted
in cutting edge destruction. ZTA_7_NI inserts reached the
th
th
criteria of tool wear at 26 , respectively at 15 machined
sleeves. Fig. 8 shows the tool life of plates calculated
according to formula (1) and (2) in minutes.

The value of surface roughness (Ra) decreases with the
number of machined pieces of almost all sleeves. It is a
characteristic for the ceramic cutting tools. If we want to
achieve maximum performance, we have to "wear down"
lightly these inserts. If the plate achieved the maximum tool
life, roughness would begin to rise slightly. This could be
caused by increasing tool wear.
ZTA 7 NI_1 inserts caused sparking that increased with
the number of machined sleeves. This test was finished for
th
unsatisfactory roughness at the 15 piece as shown in the
graph.

Roughness is the most correlated with the Ra value.
This parameter is the most common in engineering practice
in the Czech Republic. Unfortunately, it is influenced by
unique extreme surface roughness.
Parameter of roughness of Rz profile decreases with
the number of machined pieces of almost all inserts with
slight deviations, as shown in the previous measurement. Rz
parameter nearly replicates Ra parameter.

The value of external diameter D growths with
increasing number of machined sleeves. This process is
caused by the tool wear. The tool wear was created
especially on lateral tool flank (edge) and on the tip which
was "burned". It changed a decrease in dimensional
accuracy (first and last piece did not have the same
diameter). The difference was in several tenths of
Tehnički vjesnik 18, 2(2011), 203-209
R. Čep, A. Janásek, B. Martinický, M. Sadílek
millimetres (see in Tab. 6). Abrasion and peeling off were
created at the tool face of inserts. This phenomenon should
not have any significant effect on dimensional accuracy.
Tool wear is caused by high thermal and mechanical load.
The tool is not able to perform its function (after a period) as
a result of this process. Tool wear arises from abrasive wear,
plastic deformation and brittle fracture.

Conclusion
Zaključak
The requirements are very high on the parameters of
surface integrity in engineering practice. Cutting speed is
being constantly increased. This leads to the CNC
machining; these machines can secure the optimal working
conditions so it is possible to produce products with the
finest precision.
ZTA 7 NI inserts did not reach the maximum number of
30 machined inserts. The reason was impaired surface
roughness in both cases. Tests were finished for
unsatisfactory surface. The cutting inserts reached the
prescribed criterion of tool wear (VBBmax).
D 250 inserts had significantly better results. Almost all
plates machined the maximum number of inserts at tool
wear (VBBmax) about 0,2 mm, except the first. The D 250_1
insert could reach this maximum as well. The sleeve
cracked (hollow in the casting) – the result was the
destruction of the cutting edge. We will need to focus more
on these parameters in other experiments – secondary edge,
tool tip and tool face. The tool wear arises on the secondary
edge and the tip. There is reduction of dimensional accuracy
as a consequence (first and last piece have not the same
diameter). The difference is in several tenths of millimetres.
Figures 15 and 16 show that the value of both roughness
parameters is lower after 30 pieces machined. Roughness
(Ra) is below 6,3. Roughness (Ra) gets even under 3,2 with
an increasing number of machined inserts – D 250 series.
This can be attributed to the properties of ceramics material
which must be "abrade" first and then its potential can be
fully realized.
D 250 inserts are suitable for cutting inserts made from
25P material at given cutting parameters and cutting
geometry. The whole machining was carried out in dry
(without using the liquid process) and it is environmentally
friendly.
